Niveau 19 : Blinds 0/0, 12,000 ante

Eric Wasserson limped under the gun and it folded to Martin Nielsen who checked on the button.

The flop came Q♣9♦6♣ and Wasserson led out for 40,000, which Nielsen came along. The K♣ hit the turn and Wasserson slowed down with a check to Nielsen who bet out 80,000. Wasserson made the call and the 8♠ completed the board.

Wasserson checked again and Nielsen sized to 150,000. Wasserson went deep in the tank, but after over a minute, made the call. Nielsen announced "good call" and Wasserson tabled K♥10♣ to take down the pot with only top pair.

Niveau 19 : Blinds 0/0, 12,000 ante

Martin Nielsen opened to 70,000 preflop and was called by Eric Wasserson and Ivan Ermin to see a flop of 7♣9♣9♠.

All three players checked and they went to the turn 10♣. Ermin thought for a second before leading out for 160,000 but both of his opponents quickly folded.

"Ahhh, come on guys, you made that too easy!" Ermin joked as he was pushed the pot, but when he tosed his cards to the dealer, the 9♥ flashed up to where Wasserson could see it.

"The jig is up! We saw the nine!" he joked.

Ermin Gets Check-Raised by Yu

Kirk.brown

Niveau 20 : Blinds 0/0, 15,000 ante

Eric Wasserson opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ivan Ermin on the button and Hong Wei Yu from under the gun.

The flop came out 9♦A♥8♣. Yu and Wasserson checked to Ermin who bet 115,000, but then Yu check-raised him to 500,000 and Wasserson quickly got out of the way.

Ermin then went into the tank for almost a minute and a half, using two of his time banks before he finally decided to lay it down.

"Show an eight!" Wasserson said to Yu, who then complied by showing the 8♠ as he raked in the pot.

Nielsen Finds Miracle Runout To Double Off Wasserson

AndrewK47

Niveau 20 : Blinds 0/0, 15,000 ante

In a heads-up pot with 120,000 in the middle on a flop showing A♣Q♥8♠, Martin Nielsen bet 60,000 from early position and Eric Wasserson raised to 200,000 from the cutoff. Nielsen took a few seconds before announcing all in for 1,200,000 and Wasserson snap-called.

Martin Nielsen: A♠9♦
Eric Wasserson: 8♥8♦

Wasserson flopped a set and had Nielsen in rough shape with his top pair. The turn fell the 7♦ and Nielsen picked up a straight draw. The river peeled off the 6♠ and the straight got there for Nielsen to score a massive double up off Wasserson and leave him short.

Wasserson Swings Back

Kirk.brown

Niveau 20 : Blinds 0/0, 15,000 ante

Eric Wasserson moved all in from the button and Martin Nielsen quickly called to put him at risk of elimination.

Eric Wasserson: A♠K♣
Martin Nielsen: 10♦10♣

The flop came out 8♣K♥J♥ to give Wasserson the lead with his pair of kings, but the turn Q♠ gave Nielsen an open-ended straight draw. Fortunately for Wasserson, the river was the brick 7♣ and he let out a big sigh of relief as he was pushed the pot for a double up.

"I'm not dead yet!" he declared as he stacked up his reclaimed chips.

Wasserson Gets Caught Bluffing

AndrewK47

Niveau 20 : Blinds 0/0, 15,000 ante

Both Eric Wasserson and Ivan Ermin limped in before Hong Wei Yu made it 105,000 to go on the button. Wasserson and Ermin made the call and the trio saw a flop of J♦9♠8♣.

All three players checked their options to the J♣ turn. Wasserson led out for 80,000 and only Ermin came along. The 10♦ hit the river and Wasserson took close to 30 seconds before sliding out a bet of 180,000. Ermin quickly called and Wasserson tabled A♣6♣ for the ace-high bluff.

Ermin rolled over Q♠J♠ for a queen-high straight to scoop the sizable pot.

Eric Wasserson Eliminated in 4th Place ($85,124)

Kirk.brown

Niveau 20 : Blinds 0/0, 15,000 ante

Eric Wasserson moved all in for a little under 700,000 and Ivan Ermin went into the tank.

After around 15 seconds, he made the call to put Wasserson at risk and the cards were tabled.

Eric Wasserson: K♥9♥
Ivan Ermin: K♣Q♣

The flop of 10♥6♣8♠ did not do much for either player, but the 9♦ on the turn gave Wasserson a pair of nines.

"Come on, hold!" Wasserson shouted.

"Jack!" Ermin shouted also, and it seemed the dealer only heard the second request as the river came the J♣ to give him a straight to win the pot, eliminating Wasserson in fourth place.
